Word from a Parent:“I’m proud that both my children are at Wellington College. Arriving half way through the year, they felt welcome immediately. Their teacher came from Wellington UK, was used to the curriculum, and was experienced in teaching 3- to 4-year-olds. Links with the parent school are frequent and real. The classes are interactive and open, with discovery and inquiry being the focus. Our children have grown in confidence, vocabulary, and the ability to have open conversation in a short space of time. Parental involvement is actively encouraged. The school-wide house system creates a fantastic sense of community and belonging for the pupils, as well as fostering realistic competitiveness. The school has outstanding facilities, one of the highlights being the theater. Wellington has created a great name for itself in a short time, and really is going from strength to strength now.”
